Test Match Cricket

South Africa eventually declared on 540/8 setting Australia a target of 539. Australia 169/4 at stumps on Day 4:

How about that run out by Bavuma? Astonishing.
Australia are a shambles.

Have Australia any talent coming through? I just can’t understand why they still keep persisting with the same tried and tested failures.

All big bash players now

big bash > Test

There’s absolutely fuck all Geoffrey tbh, domestic cricket is underwhelming to say the least at present. Fitzy Jnr had figures of 4/7 off 8 overs, 4 maidens, 2 catches and 2 run outs with 36 runs scored in a U14A’s game at the weekend, but he’s thinking of declaring for Ireland.

The young lad is opening for England tomorrow. duckett at four. ballance dropped.

England 63/1. Cook out for 21. Hameed 31no going well.

Hameed going well after an early reprieve.

Terrific first day for England in Rajkot - 311/4 at stumps and very much in charge of the first test against India. Moeen Ali will resume on 99 n.o.

India 319/4 at stumps on Day 3 in response to England’s 537. Two wickets picked up in the last two overs of the day.

Might be interesting yet. The pitch must be fairly bland

171/5 at the close.

Ah lovely.

That’s a cracking test in Rajkot.
As for Hobart, well what’s the fucking point. This will be over Minday lunchtime. And then it starts again. This will be the easiest test series win SA have ever had.
